A young couple, struggling to buy a first home, think their prayers are answered when a distant relative bequeaths them a vast country house. The catch? It’s riddled with ghosts…

With Pat’s family coming to commemorate his death, Pat begs Alison to pass on a message from beyond the grave, while she attempts to befriend the new builder.

Desperate for cash, Mike and Alison rent the house to a film crew making a period drama – a move that pushes both Thomas and the old house’s floorboards to breaking point.

Alison’s attempt to win over their posh new neighbours with a swanky dinner party are thrown into chaos by Mary’s woeful catering and Robin’s desire to celebrate the lunar eclipse.

When Mike and Alison consider selling Button House to a hotel chain, the ghosts come up with some get-rich-quick schemes to help the cash-strapped couple.
